ok first as an artist
IGNORE ALL SOCIOLOGY
seriously, that shit will fuck with you.
it will destroy your special snowflake artist narrative (aka that thing you uh FUCKIN NEED)
sociologists and artists are enemies and lovers.
Fuck, kill, marry for an artist is as follows
fuck a sociologist
kill the rival artist
marry your waifu

ergh maybe im just showing my bias too much hurr hmm
SOCIOLOGy wants to make the world into "omg did you know kids who are parents of divorce are 39% more likely to commit crime?"
explain how knowing that will help your art. ill wait. (no modern art hey no thats cheating ack)

and you want to spraypaint COWS LIKE MOO or big titted anime bitches on a wall

fact is you are an outlier in sociological data, and you THRIVE on being an outlier. comprende ?
YOU are a terrorist for sociologists.
what reason is there for drawing from posemaniacs for hours upon hours? or painting a shoe? or yadda yadda caterpillar freckles details SMELLING THE ROSES SOCIOLOGY
ITS CALLED NOT EVERYTHING IS ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS
